GE module in Catalyst 4500 family

I want to connect 18 GBIC in my Edge switch to one Catalyst 4506 in Distribution Layer. can I use 18 port Gigabit Ethernet Module, server switching (WS-X4418-GB) or I have to use 3x 6port Gigabit Ethernet Module (WS-X4306-GB).
Thanks for your help.

In a WS-X4418-GB the first 2 ports are wirespeed and have no oversubscription.

You will be better off using these 2 ports to connect to your 4506.

    WS-X4306-GB - Catalyst 4500 6-port GBIC Module & FC Tape Libraries
    I have several Tape Autoloader Libraries from Dell which have Fibre Channel interfaces. I have loop switches that these connect to today. I also have a Catalyst 4506 with a WS-X4306-GB - 6-port GBIC Module. I would like to use the X4306 as a loop switch. Some of the libraries can also connect via point-to-point FC.
    Can this be done? If yes, how do I start in making this happen?
    Thank You.

    Sorry but the Catalyst 4500 does not support Fibre Channel connections on the WS-X4306-GB (or on any card). It's strictly an Ethernet switch. Reference
    To mix and match Ethernet and FC interfaces, you'd have to be on a new platform like the Nexus 5k series - specifically the UP (Unified Port) variants.

  • Subinterfaces - hardware limitation on catalyst 4500-X

    Hi there,
    We are currently building a VSS and our design has L3 subinterfaces however we have hit a major wall while trying to do the following

  • IDS/IPS functionality in Catalyst 4500 ?

    Hi,
    is there an IDS/IPS functionality in Catalyst 4500 (Supervisor 6-e), or do we need to propose external IDS/IPS device?

    I think cat 4500 sup 6-e does not have IDS/IPS functionality. You have to externally install it.

  • 1000v uplink to Catalyst 4500

    We have a 1000v switch uplinked to nexus 5K and Catalyst 4500 switches. I can see all the VEMs(ESX servers) connected to the nexus 5K uplink switch and everything seems working fine. However, I am not able to see the VEMs uplinked to Cisco Catalyst 4500 switch. The "show  Module" command shows all VEMs connected to the nexus 5K uplink switches but not the Catalyst 4500 switches.The log file on the 1000V shows the following:

    Hi bharga,
    I did all the checking....
        1) all important VLANS including the control vlan are not blocked (No STP issue)
        2) The Nexus 5K and the 4500 switch are in layer layer 2  ( They are not directly connected but are in layer two domain or no hop between them)
       3) the ESX Server hosting the VSM is connected to the Nexus 5K 
    Here is some of the show commands that i run on the 4500 switch that is connects the ESX server to the rest ofd the network:-

  • Trunking on Nexus 5000 to Catalyst 4500

    I have 2 devices on the each end of a Point to Point.  One side has a Nexus 5000 the other end a Catalyst 4500.  We want a trunk port on both sides to allow a single VLAN for the moment.  I have not worked with Nexus before.  Could someone look at the configurations of the Ports and let me know if it looks ok?

    Thanks guys, we found the issue.  The Catalyst is on my side and the Nexus is on the side of the hosting center.  The hosting center moved his connection to a different Nexus 5000 and the connection came right up.  We dropped the spanning-tree guard root. 
    It was working on the previous nexus when we set the native vlan for 141.  So we thought it was the point to point dropping the tags.
    The hosting center engineer this it might have to do with the VPC Peer-Link loop prevention on the previous Nexus. 
    Anyway it is working the way we need it to.

  • Modules Gbic Catalyst 6500

    I have a peculiar problem with two gbic modules of Catalyst 6500.
    First problem, I have a gbic port in module 7, which was a trunkport to Catalyst 2950, that does not allow conection to switch Catalyst 2950, and besides it harmed the yield of Catalyst 6500. I have to disconnect the optical fiber cable so that everything returned to normality.
    Second problem. A port gbic in module 8, I let work and I disconnect of the network to one of the servants, by such reason I had to connect the fiber cable in another one gbic of he himself I module.
    My question is: is necessary to change I modulate 7 and 8 not to have network problems on watch? or single to change gbic affected in each one of the modules?
    Thank you,

    Failure to get GBIC up during installation could be as a result of system requirements not met, incorrect cable installed, lack of power to the device, configuration errors or hardware failure. Verify that the GBIC cable is connected to another active network device and that the port is not shut down. Replace cable with a known good cable. Make sure GBICs are matched on either side of the connection. Make sure the flow control and port negotiation settings are consistent on both sides of the link. There may be incompatibilities in the implementation of these features if the switches being connected are from different vendors. If in doubt, turn these features off on both switches. Swap GBIC to a different slot. Also, try using a spare GBIC to see if it works. For more information, refer to Troubleshooting link :

  • QoS trust dscp or cos on catalyst 4500

    We have a 4510R with Cisco IOS Software, IOS-XE Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software cat4500e-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 03.05.02.E RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1).

    What is the software that I need for this?. I tried with command lookup tool but the cat4500 do not appears.

    That is even new for me.
    I did a search and found that, now a days you no longer have to provide the Trust DSCP command, it is by default trusted.
    Went through this White Paper and excerpts are below:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-4500-series-switches/white_paper_c11-539588.html
    The answer to your question comes from the following excerpt :-
    "Previously supervisor engines relied on “port trust” to classify traffic; however, this does not fall into the MQC CLI construct. MQC provides a more flexible capability, i.e. all traffic is trusted by default, an administrator can change this trust state using a policy map. Another difference is the “internal DSCP” value used within the switch to place packets in the proper queue.
    Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engines do not use “internal DSCP”; rather, it relies on explicit matching of QoS values using class maps so that packets can be placed in the correct queue.
    Also, note that there is no specific priority queue: it is not queue 3 or queue 1. The priority queue is simply configured within a class; therefore, it is not tied to a specific queue. One final difference is that of classification. Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engines provide sequential classification rather than parallel. This allows the network administrator to classify traffic at egress based on the ingress markings. These markings can be done unconditionally, using a policer or using a table map. Based on these changes, QoS CLI will now be more contiguous on the Supervisor Engines as it will now have standard Cisco MQC CLI, making configuration management much simpler"

  • Catalyst 4500-X, VSS, and SVI

    Hello, everybody!
    I have a proyect to implement the feature VSS, with two catalyst 4500-X, it will be the layer Core/Distribution.
    So, I want integrate in the catalyst 4500X, Inter vlan routing (SVI)  and vtp domain,  in the layer access, we´ll have  SW 3750-X  with PoE.
    Is possible configure SVI  in my catalyst 4500-X.  to separate traffic across VLANs. and the routing will be in the 4500X too.  ???
    My customer does not have sufficient space to mount the serie 4500E in the Rack, so he prefer the 4500-X.
    Help me!
    Thanks!
    Regards

    Hi,
    Is possible configure SVI in my catalyst 4500-X. to separate traffic across VLANs. and the routing will be in the 4500X too. ???
    Yes, there is no different between a VSS pair and non-VSS when it comes to SVI and inter-vlan routing.  It works the same way as if the 4500-X ware separate.

  • Catalyst 4500, scp, rcp

    Does anybody know is it possible to set up a remote access to the Catalyst 4500 series switch thru the rcp or scp protocol? I want to start commands on the remote unix server. Like unix# scp -i identity -B acl.file user@catalyst:system:running-config or unix# rcp acl.file user@catalyst:system:running-config, where acl.file is the file with access-list. It's important to start commands on the remote server, not on the switch. Thanks for any advice.

    Hello,
    I just tried this on a Cat 4500 using tftp, and successfully changed its hostname, and added a new ACL.
    The same should be true for rcp and scp.
    Just remember to put "end" as the last line of the file, otherwise you will get a %PARSER-4-BADCFG: Unexpected end of configuration file message (but it still works).
    This was tried on Version 12.2(25)EWA4.
    Hope this helped,
